CAS Card

I'm back again. I wanted to post a CAS card on the Operation Write Home blog to go along with the CAS Blog Skip. Jennifer McQuire has is so graciously offered several FREE on line CAS classes for those of us who enter a card in here or on OWH's Facebook page. Unfortunely I was not able to take her on-line class so I am really hoping my name gets picked. My fingers are crossed. I tend to make a lot of CAS type cards, but there is SO MUCH more I need to learn yet. For my card here I just used some retired SU pink paper and stamped my Inkadinkado sentiment right on to the designer paper. I added three Prima flowers and the leaves were punched from a MS punch. For some odd reason I went with just one Corner punch. It just looked better to me than using two of them. Well I'm back to the drawing table, as it were. I am trying very hard to finish up my next OWH box this weekend. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Such a pretty card and perfect not only for Mother's Day for also for SPRING!

I'm dying for Spring...for the flowers and the trees to be back in bloom. But, I'm not complaining much about our winter this year. It's been a good one for me and I hope we do break the record for one of the lowest snowfall seasons! :)

I'm a huge fan of using just one photo corner on a card. I don't know why either, but I think it has to do with the fact it seems to make a bigger impact because it's unlike the other corners. Good luck in the contest to win the class. I've got my fingers crossed, too! :)
